Bill,

I'm not going to argue with you about this--you have your views, and sincerely believe they are the salvation of medicine as we know it today. I have mine, which are diametrically opposed. You believe the VA healthcare system is popular--I know for a fact it is not.

Yes, I paid for my heart attack with my health insurance, which I pay for monthly. I earned the money, I shelled it out.

Today, I worked, just as I have been for most of my life. I know for a fact I didn't make enough to pay this week's taxes, let alone this month's taxes. Funny thing about the OMB claiming we all pay less taxes, the report I read only talked about income tax, which is the least amount we pay. They tend to forget about little matters such as gasoline tax, real-estate tax, personal property tax, and a massive number of other taxes that we pay on everything on the planet, all of which have increased dramatically over the past three decades.

Bottom's up guys and gals,

Gary
